| Day to day, I stumble across many different sources of inspiration. From a fabulous font in a magazine to paint peeling on the side of an aging building, and I try to bring that inspiration into my own look.
Someone I know recently sent me this New York Times article about a woman who turned a hunting cabin in the Catskills into a romantic Victorian cottage. I absolutely love the look of this quaint cottage as well as the creativity and dedication that it took to renovate it!

| I love beautiful things... shoes, clothes, furniture, candlesticks, incredible graphic design, stunning photography, etc. Here are a few of the things I've recently begun a love affair with...
Mismatched pillows. I recently changed the pillows on the couch in my studio. The old ones were too matchy, too perfect. I decided on eclectic, random, and perfectly imperfect. |
| My Enzo heels. I normally don't buy open-toed shoes in February because it's too depressing to have to wait so long to get to wear them. But I couldn't resist these... and I'm happy to report that it looks like they're still available. They were featured in InStyle magazine shortly after I bought them, so I was sure they'd totally sell out, but apparently not! |
| Leifsdottir. It's a new brand by the geniuses at Anthropologie. Their clothes are gorgeous and so is their catalog. |
| TheAnthropologist.net. It's affiliated with Anthropologie (yes, I know, I'm obsessed) and it features various artists, writers, etc., and their art and musings. It's kind of randomly wonderful. |

| In case you've been under a rock, I have a new puppy. And, according to my dog trainer, I have to take my puppy outside to go to the bathroom every hour because her bladder is so tiny right now. And, apparently I'm supposed to stay outside with her for 5 minutes each time. While I was outside with her and freezing one day, I realized that I spend approximately 1/12th of my waking hours watching my dog look for somewhere to pee.
Anyway last night while waiting for her bladder, I happened to notice this "I heart Kristen" message written in the snow. I knew it had to be from my husband, who had taken my dog out the night before after I feel asleep on the couch. It felt SO wonderful to find this little message and I thought about how truly wonderful my husband is. And I also thought about how interesting it was that I had taken my dog out numerous times earlier in the day, but I hadn't noticed this message in broad daylight. It wasn't until it was dark out and our porch light illuminated it from just the right angle that it became really visible. When they say that photography is "all about light", it really is... but it's not about how much light... it's about the right kind of light! |

| I'm so sorry that I haven't updated you all on Paisley in a while. I got her about two months ago and still every day I look at her and think "oh my god she is the cutest puppy ever!". Actually every puppy is really cute, I just happen to be biased for mine. :)
And she is super sweet and cuddly too (she's sleeping on my lap as I'm writing this). I'm so thrilled to report that she's ok with wearing all of the sweaters I bought her and she loves going all around town with me. For my birthday, Mike surprised me with the dog bag below and I have to say that it's SO perfect for her because it lets her see out but has a leash inside to keep her from crawling out. And it looks more like a purse than a dog bag, which is how I get away with bringing her to restaurants (which I think is inappropriate only if one gets caught). |
| I bought this handmade vintage dog bed from Etsy.com and I think it's just about the cutest thing. It was all made from upcycled materials and the artist handmade the blanket, pillow, and little toys... |
| ... and it even has this adorable saying on the pillow. |
